Hi all,

Is there a way to adjust edge weight so that it is proportionate to its nodes’ sizes? I'm concerned that strong relationships between smaller nodes are getting overshadowed by weaker relationships between large nodes and want to adjust for that. Any thoughts? I'd appreciate both methodology and implementation thoughts!

Hey Pete,

If you're thinking purely of the visual results, you can adjust the Edge Thickness settings in Preview to get a better sense of strong connections. If you want to adjust the actual weight values, one way to proceed would be to filter your graph by Edge Weight, open the Data Laboratory, make sure in your Configurations settings you have "Show Visible Graph Only" and then you have the opportunity to assign higher values to the weight column, if you'd like. Otherwise, they've removed Edge Weight resizing from the Overview options, so you'll have to do any resampling in your source dataset before import.

Edge weight resizing sounds like a really cool thing for overview! It used to be a feature but was removed?
